Are you able to supply any more information? what were you doing at the time? are you using Java5? are you using annotations? are you using annotation binding pointcuts? Did it occur on a full build or an incremental compile? (I suspect the 1.2.1 level of AJ that you raised the bug against isnt quite right... I assume you are on AspectJ 5) The line number has 'moved' since the version in which this stack trace is reported (but I know we haven't made recent AJs available in AJDT yet) - but although it has moved it could still be a bug as I haven't knowingly fixed anything in this area.
Yeah sure. Sorry The bug export was so good I couldn't touch it. :) Anyways, I think it is due the fact that that class being tried to be vowen has java 1.5 templates and template was refered in a matched method... The bug occured o n every build triger. A snipped version of the code is here: public class DomainContentProvider<T extends GenericDomainObject> implements IRefreshableStructuredContentProvider<T> { <...> @DAOOperation(clazz = SummaryDAO.class, remove = DAORemoveCondition.ALWAYS) private void getData(SummaryDAO dao, IProgressMonitor monitor, boolean includeDeleted) { summaries = (List<T>) dao.getSummaries(clazz, includeDeleted); if (includeDeleted) state = State.FULL_INITIALIZED; else state = State.LIGHT_INITIALIZED; } <...> }
Problem recreated with this small test program: =======8<======================== import java.lang.annotation.*; interface GDO {} @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @interface Marker { } class DCP<T extends GDO> { @Marker void getData(){} } aspect X { before(Marker a): execution(* getData(..)) && @annotation(a) { System.err.println(a); } } public class A { public static void main(String[] args) { new DCP().getData(); } } =======8<======================== (thanks for giving me your code snippet to work from) As suspected by the raiser, the combination of generics and annotations is the problem. We start working with the raw type when we should be working with the generic type when discovering the annotations. The fix is when working with a raw or parameterized type, use the generic type to locate annotations. fix committed.
